on the contrary. mensa people don't *have* to try to impress each
other with how smart they are. they know that they score in the upper
2% on any of a number of i.q. tests. not to be snotty, but i'm
guessing you miss the boat.

the key attraction for many is that they don't have to explain their
jokes.

yes, some are socially inept, but i think that occurs in the other 98%
as well.
